The Search for Field School: Part Deux

So, after blowing my chance last year, I'm going to try to get into a field school this summer so that I'll actually have a ghost of a chance of getting a job where I could actually use my degree.  (What a ka-RAZY idea!)  The program that looks most promising to me is this one.  (God bless shovelbums.com!)  Bonuses include a slashed price tag if I take it for no college credit (which would be my default choice cuz' I'd be graduated by then), and I'd be working on a colonial site (which I have prior experience doing).  Also the application deadline is still months away.  But if I take it for no credit, I wonder if that'll bump me off the short list should the slots start filling quickly.  The program would likely prioritize students going for credit over "freelancers" like me.  Hmm...but if I do it for credit, I'd have to apply to the school and pay the full tuition price. 

In other news, I have to go get mah pikture for teh yearbook and I have spots on mah face.  Feels like high school all over again.  *facepalm*
